During the parikrama, we pass a village called Aanyor when we go to
see Govinda Kunda. One day, Madhavendra Puri was sitting there and chanting
all day. He was ayachita-vrtti, did not ask anybody for anything (if
he got something, he would take it, otherwise he would fast). That was his
nature. One day Krishna Himself came to him: a boy came up to him and
said,

"Sadhu, drink this milk!"

"How do You know I have not eaten anything? What is Your Name? Where is
Your village and where do You stay?"

"If somebody wants
something, I give it to them, and if they do not want it, I also give it to
them... You drink this milk, and I will come back later for the pot."

Madhavendra Puri drank the milk and thought, "I have drunk milk many times in
Bengal, but it was nothing like this kind of milk! This is like nectar!" So,
he sat and waited, waited, waited, and soon he felt drowsy and fell asleep.
Gopal came to him in a dream and said, "My Name is Govardhan-dhari
Gopal."

"Krishna's great-grandson established my Deity, but when the Muslim were
breaking the temples, the pujari hid Me in the forest, and since that
day I have been suffering so much from hot, cold, rain, etc. When I brought
you milk, you asked Me where I stayed—this is where I live. Rescue Me
and keep Me in a safe place!" And Madhavendra Puri woke up. (You worship a
Deity, but it is not a doll!) The next morning, Madhavendra Puri called the
villagers and said that their Deity was hidden in the jungle, and with their
help he took the Deity out and established His worship on top of
Govardhan.

When Mahaprabhu went to Govardhan, He did not climb Govardhan to see
Gopal—Gopal came down to see Him, and to this day, that Gopal is still
there, on the bank of Govinda Kunda...

Why is the village called Aanyor? Tomorrow is the Annakut mahotsav of Govardhan
Giriraj. On that day, all Vraja-basis brought so much food, and a mountain of
rice, Govardhan finished everything, but still He was hungry. He said, "Bring
more! Bring more! Ara anna!" Aanyor: "আর নিয়ে আসো, aro niye
aso" ("bring more"). Hearing it, all gopis were about to go back home to
bring more, but Govardhan stopped them, "You do not have to go back to your
homes! I will make My hands longer and take it." And Govardhan made His hands
longer and took everything from their houses. That is Giriraj Puja.

'I offer my obeisance unto the lotus feet of Sri Guru, who daily engages himself and other devotees in dressing the Deity with various ornaments, cleaning the Deity's temple, and performing other devotional practices.'
